A Spyderco/Bill Moran collaboration started during Bill's retirement yet continues selling strong long after his passing in 2007. Moran defined America's knife industry with his fixed blade designs for use outdoors. Bill's two collaborations with Spyderco are Japanese VG-10, elegantly tapered from spine to edge. Handle and blade carry equal weight and balanced sweet spot where they join at the tang.

Zytel Handles
A nylon polymer that is lightweight and extremely durable, Zytel can be shaped and textured to provide excellent grip.

I also purchase the Bowie blade version of this series. Spyderco makes excellent products. I liked the balance and feel of the knife. With all of the mechanical and metalurgical pluses, one of the reasons I purchased it is,it looks good.

a little disappointed:material are excellent and so blade's shape and weight which is really light and the knife is very sharp but handle is too short for use the knife as intended. One inch more of handle and this knife is perfect but actually is near impossible to skin an animal with this
